Joint Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity (JEDI) Committee

The WCB has a Joint Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity (JEDI) Committee with representation from both Management and the Union. Under the umbrella of one of our core values of providing a respectful and diverse workplace reflective of Manitoba, both parties agree to cooperate in formulation of implementing a program designed to ensure employee equity for every member of our staff.

The JEDI Committee’s key objectives are:

To continue to ensure that current and future employment systems are non-discriminatory

To continue to enhance the equality and treatment of women, Aboriginals, visible minorities and persons with disabilities

To continue to redress disparities, if any, in the employer’s present workforce distribution

To continue to develop strategies to enhance the recruitment, appointment and retention of target group members

To continue to prepare the organization for the increasing role target group member will play in the workforce

To continue to support an appreciation for diversity by developing awareness
